The meeting was moderated by Ms Farah Zakout and Mr Sami Shakora, who are both participating in preparing a civic intellectual training. During the meeting, they spoke about gender.
They highlighted that gender is a constant term that does not change with place or time, as opposed to the one that changes from place and time. And that there are several factors that are controlled, including customs and traditions.
They also described gender roles, as well as gender-based violence in the Palestinian situation, mechanisms for dealing with cases of gender-based violence, and reviewed legal texts dealing with cases of gender-based violence.
